EDIT: I've replaced the linked video with the final version.

How's your next thing coming?

The two most common requests I've received in response to 'In Search of a Flat Earth' have been for a more classroom-friendly packaging of the experiment and a giant dump of all the extra lake footage, preferably at a higher resolution.

I couldn't include all of it, there was too much and a lot of it is just meaninglessly out of focus  or the camera free-rolling while we adjust height, so I grabbed a few pretty good slices adding up to 24 minutes.

In theory this video should process at 2.6K, but YouTube is poorly documented when it comes to non-standard resolutions. At the moment it has processed only a 1080p version, so I may need to export a 1440p version to force it to process UHD. I did have success with contagion processing a 1920x804 original file, so I'm hoping it's just going to take time.

I would like to make this video public in the next few days, but I wanted some focused feedback first, both to make sure it worked, catch any errors, or incorporate good ideas to make it all better.
